Default Lug nut issue...

The black in the drawing is currently how my z06 wheels look. I purchased them from here...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

problem is with that i cant use my acorn nuts and the .590 diameter doesnt allow me to use the mag wheel nuts that mount flat with a washer....

looks like im going to need a machine shop to either drill it out to the .685 diameter for the mag nuts, or do a 60 degree taper. what do you think would be the best option?

Looks like the wheel(s) missed a step in the machining process . . . .

Maybe the seller also carries the correct lugnuts in his ebay store. If you haven't seached already, it's worth a look.
